Dependency Injection (DI)
The primary goal of dependency injection (DI) is to make component interdependencies as loosely coupled as possible. In real terms, this means that one component should call another component or resource only through an interface and that components and resources should be glued together using configuration instead of code. As a result, component implementations can easily be swapped out as necessary simply by reconfiguring the application.

JUnits - Do’s and Dont’s
After the Junit cleanup last whole month, here are my few cents.
A JUnit test case can contain multiple tests. Each test is implemented by a method. The declaration of a test method must comply to a set of conventions in order to help JUnit and associated tools to automate the discovery and execution of tests. These conventions are:
1. The name of the method must begin with “test”, like in “testValidateOperator”,
2. The return type of a test method must be null,
3. A test method must not throw any exception,
4. A test method must not have any parameter.
There are a few details of which you should be aware of when writing JUnit tests. First of all, when executing a test case, JUnit will instantiate the test case class as many time as there are test methods. That is, each test method will be executed on a different instance of the test case class. Before calling the test method, JUnit will call the setUp() method. The tearDown() method will be called after the test method completes – successfully or not. The setUp() and tearDown() methods should be used to create and then clean up the test environment.
Good practices to be followed while writing a JUnit:
• Write tests for methods that have the fewest dependencies first. If you start by testing a high-level method, your test may fail because a subordinate method may return an incorrect value to the method under test. This increases the time spent finding the source of the problem, and you will still have to test the subordinate method anyway to be sure it does not contain other bugs.
• Tests should be logically simple as possible, preferably with no decisions at all. Every decision added to a test method increases the number of possible ways that a test method can be executed. Testing is meant to be a controlled environment; the only thing you want to change is the input to the method under test, not the test method itself.
• Wherever possible, use constant as expected values in your assertions instead of computed values. Consider these two assertions:
returnVal = getDiscountCode(input);
assertEquals(returnVal, computeDiscountCode(input));
assertEquals(returnVal, “023”);
In order for computeDiscountCode() to return the proper result it probably has to implement the same logic as the getDiscountCode(), which is what you are trying to test for in the first place. Further, suppose you fixed a defect in the getDiscountCode (). Now you have to change computeDiscountCode () in the same manner. The second assertion is easier to understand and maintain.
• Each unit test should be independent of all other tests.
A unit test should execute one specific behavior for a single method. Validating behavior of multiple methods is problematic as such coupling can increase refactoring time and effort. Consider the following example:
void testAdd()
{
int return1 = myClass.add(1,2);
int return2 = myclass.add(-1,-2);
assertTrue (return1 – return2 == 0);
}
If the assertions fails in this case, it will be difficult to determine which invocation of add() caused the problem.
• Each unit test should be clearly named and documented.
The name of the test method should clearly indicate which method is being tested because improperly named tests increase maintenance and refactoring efforts. Comments should also be used to describe the test or any special conditions.
• All methods, regardless of visibility, should have appropriate unit tests.
Public, private and protected methods that contain data and decisions should be unit tested in isolation.
• One assertion per test case.
Avoid using multiple assertions in one test case. For example, if a test case with five assertions fails on the first assertion, then the remaining four are not executed. Only when the first assertion is corrected will the other assertions execute. If assertion two fails, then that also must be corrected before the remaining three assertions are verified. Although the unit test file may be large, it will be easier to find and fix defects.
• Create unit tests that target exceptions.
Exceptions are thrown when a method finds itself in a state it cannot handle. These cases should be tested just like a method’s normal state of operations. If a method is declared to throw one or more exceptions, then unit tests must be create that simulate the circumstances under which those exceptions could be thrown. The unit tests should assert that the exceptions are thrown as expected.
Please let me know if this helps. Happy coding Junits…!!

Exam Objectives
Section 1: Declarations, Initialization and Scoping
- Develop code that declares classes (including abstract and all forms of nested classes), interfaces, and enums, and includes the appropriate use of package and import statements (including static imports).
- Develop code that declares an interface. Develop code that implements or extends one or more interfaces. Develop code that declares an abstract class. Develop code that extends an abstract class.
- Develop code that declares, initializes, and uses primitives, arrays, enums, and objects as static, instance, and local variables. Also, use legal identifiers for variable names.
- Given a code example, determine if a method is correctly overriding or overloading another method, and identify legal return values (including covariant returns), for the method.
- Given a set of classes and superclasses, develop constructors for one or more of the classes. Given a class declaration, determine if a default constructor will be created, and if so, determine the behavior of that constructor. Given a nested or non-nested class listing, write code to instantiate the class.
Section 2: Flow Control
- Develop code that implements an if or switch statement; and identify legal argument types for these statements.
- Develop code that implements all forms of loops and iterators, including the use of for, the enhanced for loop (for-each), do, while, labels, break, and continue; and explain the values taken by loop counter variables during and after loop execution.
- Develop code that makes use of assertions, and distinguish appropriate from inappropriate uses of assertions.
- Develop code that makes use of exceptions and exception handling clauses (try, catch, finally), and declares methods and overriding methods that throw exceptions.
- Recognize the effect of an exception arising at a specified point in a code fragment. Note that the exception may be a runtime exception, a checked exception, or an error.
- Recognize situations that will result in any of the following being thrown: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,ClassCastException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalStateException, NullPointerException, NumberFormatException, AssertionError, ExceptionInInitializerError, StackOverflowError or NoClassDefFoundError. Understand which of these are thrown by the virtual machine and recognize situations in which others should be thrown programatically.
Section 3: API Contents
- Develop code that uses the primitive wrapper classes (such as Boolean, Character, Double, Integer, etc.), and/or autoboxing & unboxing. Discuss the differences between the String, StringBuilder, and StringBuffer classes.
- Given a scenario involving navigating file systems, reading from files, writing to files, or interacting with the user, develop the correct solution using the following classes (sometimes in combination), from java.io: BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, File, FileReader, FileWriter, PrintWriter, and Console.
- Use standard J2SE APIs in the java.text package to correctly format or parse dates, numbers, and currency values for a specific locale; and, given a scenario, determine the appropriate methods to use if you want to use the default locale or a specific locale. Describe the purpose and use of the java.util.Locale class.
- Write code that uses standard J2SE APIs in the java.util and java.util.regex packages to format or parse strings or streams. For strings, write code that uses the Pattern and Matcher classes and the String.split method. Recognize and use regular expression patterns for matching (limited to: . (dot), * (star), + (plus), ?, \d, \s, \w, [], ()). The use of *, +, and ? will be limited to greedy quantifiers, and the parenthesis operator will only be used as a grouping mechanism, not for capturing content during matching. For streams, write code using the Formatter and Scanner classes and the PrintWriter.format/printf methods. Recognize and use formatting parameters (limited to: %b, %c, %d, %f, %s) in format strings.
Section 4: Concurrency
- Write code to define, instantiate, and start new threads using both java.lang.Thread and java.lang.Runnable.
- Recognize the states in which a thread can exist, and identify ways in which a thread can transition from one state to another.
- Given a scenario, write code that makes appropriate use of object locking to protect static or instance variables from concurrent access problems.
Section 5: OO Concepts
- Develop code that implements tight encapsulation, loose coupling, and high cohesion in classes, and describe the benefits.
- Given a scenario, develop code that demonstrates the use of polymorphism. Further, determine when casting will be necessary and recognize compiler vs. runtime errors related to object reference casting.
- Explain the effect of modifiers on inheritance with respect to constructors, instance or static variables, and instance or static methods.
- Given a scenario, develop code that declares and/or invokes overridden or overloaded methods and code that declares and/or invokes superclass, or overloaded constructors.
- Develop code that implements "is-a" and/or "has-a" relationships.
Section 6: Collections / Generics
- Given a design scenario, determine which collection classes and/or interfaces should be used to properly implement that design, including the use of the Comparable interface.
- Distinguish between correct and incorrect overrides of corresponding hashCode and equals methods, and explain the difference between == and the equals method.
- Write code that uses the generic versions of the Collections API, in particular, the Set, List, and Map interfaces and implementation classes. Recognize the limitations of the non-generic Collections API and how to refactor code to use the generic versions. Write code that uses the NavigableSet and NavigableMap interfaces.
- Develop code that makes proper use of type parameters in class/interface declarations, instance variables, method arguments, and return types; and write generic methods or methods that make use of wildcard types and understand the similarities and differences between these two approaches.
- Use capabilities in the java.util package to write code to manipulate a list by sorting, performing a binary search, or converting the list to an array. Use capabilities in the java.util package to write code to manipulate an array by sorting, performing a binary search, or converting the array to a list. Use the java.util.Comparator and java.lang.Comparable interfaces to affect the sorting of lists and arrays. Furthermore, recognize the effect of the "natural ordering" of primitive wrapper classes and java.lang.String on sorting.
Section 7: Fundamentals
- Given a code example and a scenario, write code that uses the appropriate access modifiers, package declarations, and import statements to interact with (through access or inheritance) the code in the example.
- Given an example of a class and a command-line, determine the expected runtime behavior.
- Determine the effect upon object references and primitive values when they are passed into methods that perform assignments or other modifying operations on the parameters.
- Given a code example, recognize the point at which an object becomes eligible for garbage collection, determine what is and is not guaranteed by the garbage collection system, and recognize the behaviors of the Object.finalize() method.
- Given the fully-qualified name of a class that is deployed inside and/or outside a JAR file, construct the appropriate directory structure for that class. Given a code example and a classpath, determine whether the classpath will allow the code to compile successfully.
- Write code that correctly applies the appropriate operators including assignment operators (limited to: =, +=, -=), arithmetic operators (limited to: +, -, *, /, %, ++, --), relational operators (limited to: <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=), the instanceof operator, logical operators (limited to: &, |, ^, !, &&, ||), and the conditional operator ( ? : ), to produce a desired result. Write code that determines the equality of two objects or two primitives.
